No sheath for it! Throw it in your pocket. It's a shadow
pattern you'll never hurt that micarta. Trust me..

Sheaths are great for preventing loss. I use them for this reason and know many others do as well . Protection from damage is minimal unless you put a lot of stuff in your pockets. Most dave usually happens during use (dropping on cement being a bad one )

I don't particularly like sheaths for slip joints, but I have made a leather sheath-like-thingy with five vertical slots (about 5cm hight) to hold my pocket content (knife, ball point pen, small torch etc). If you always carry the same things in your pocket as well, then I can only recommend it. Mine aren't so cluttered anymore, the things are a bit protected and it's harder to lose things.
